Period Drama by Olga Kaleta (with integrated BSL by Sherrie Eugene Hart) is a surreal, episodic dark comedy about mental health, identity & recovery that mixes autobiographical storytelling with bold physicality. Exploring personal experiences of chronic anxiety in a world where fear is starting to look like common sense, Period Drama offers a deep dive into the question of wellness through a feminist lens, via slasher flicks, bloody knickers & existential dilemmas of insects. Combining dark humour & physical comedy, this poignant, beautiful & laugh-out-loud performance challenges ideas of who we are & what we are meant to become.

Directed by Laura Murphy & Nicole A'Court-Stuart and Produced by Thea Woodrow.

Age: 16+ Frank discussion of sexuality and mental health, strong language.
